“Everything! People. Food. Atmosphere.“

“the food is always good and the atmosphere is always GREAT! Fun and friendly staff! p.s. I used to work there when it was the Bowling Alley 🎳 😅“

“We had take-out breakfast from here. We ordered over the phone and was told it would take 15 minutes. That's what it took. Diane was very attentive to our needs. She even helped carry our large order to the car. When we sat at our table to eat, no one was disappointed with their meal. I had two eggs over easy with corned-beef hash and potatoes. YUMMY!!! The hash was just right. My only complaint is that I wanted more. However, the portions were appropriate. Thank you Annie's staff for a great start to my day.“

“We had our wedding here in May of 2024. To say our day was perfect is an understatement. Zach and Jen worked with us to create a perfect, magical evening with our family and closest friends. The food was amazing, staff was fantastic and the views for picture taking were beautiful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Covered Bridge, I would recommend this hidden gem to anyone. If you are looking for a small intimate setting to celebrate your special day, look no further because you just found the perfect place. ♥️“

“Martin, Maddie,and Evan are the best!!! Always welcoming and caring. They're always making us laugh and making sure we get the best service. I highly recommend this common man location.“

“I recently enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner that exceeded my expectations. The turkey was perfectly roasted, with tender, juicy meat and a crispy, flavorful skin. The stuffing was savory and well-seasoned, complementing the turkey beautifully. Side dishes like mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce were classic and comforting, rounding out the meal perfectly. The balance of flavors and textures made this dinner truly satisfying. Overall, it was a hearty and comforting meal that left me fully satisfied.“

“The bartender Lily is always great she's very personable and friendly and always remembers our drink order. I tried the wagyu meatloaf last night with macaroni and cheese and spinach and it was honestly the best meal I have had in a long time. I also like the little added touches like packing up leftovers for the customer, which most places don't do any longer. My husband and I always look forward to our nights out at the Canoe!“

“great little spot to grab a bite! the food is consistent, fast and fresh and the staff always friendly and accommodating! lots of windows for light and views of downtown and Winnipesaukee..“

“Yesterday's Chipotle fish sandwich was tremendos,price was right too. Cole slaw and pickles came with it.Breading on the fish was tremendous. Going back very soon.“

“Excellent service and atmosphere !“

“Went tonight, and for being very frequent diners, I was pretty shocked with the turn of events tonight. Our server, Joshua, was amazing and I do not fault him at all. We ordered the totchos which were so yummy!! And I ordered the Camp Steak, the same meal I get every time I go - I’ve had it close to a dozen times in recent years. After we finished the appetizer, the meal took about 30 additional minutes to come out, which seemed long but looking at other reviews, maybe their “norm”. Joshua even apologized on two separate occasions saying “the steak takes a while.” When it finally arrived, I was so disappointed. Apparently they “revamped” the menu and it came with a dry, inedible horseradish “crust” on top. I wish I took a picture of it - It looked so unappetizing I almost didn’t even dig in. However, I’m not one to complain often, and I was so looking forward to the steak, so I peeled right off. I think it had been sitting for some time cause it came off the steak like a block of concrete. I dug into the steak and potatoes (which I was again disappointed in because they had no flavor, due to the comparison of the delicious former potatoes with the yummy sauce). Now, in Camp’s defense, I did ask for my steak “rare to medium rare” and jokingly said “as rare as you can legally cook it,” but it wasn’t even cooked. I like a good mooing steak but this was likely not “legally to temperature”. This was mind boggling since it took SO long for the meal to come out, and that we were told “the steak takes so long cook”. I asked for it to go back to be cooked more but in the time that took the other at the table had finished so I asked for it to be boxed up - I didn’t want to be the only one at the table eating, especially after it had taken so long. Now, the only reason I’m here writing this review is because of how it was handled. I was expecting maybe to take off 20-50% of that meal - not the bill, just that meal. It wasn’t cooked, it had a dry disturbing crust on top, and it took forever to come out. But nothing…. Bill was given with two Swedish Fish and another rote apology. The manager Jason did come to the table to collect our payment and asked if we “wanted a dessert to go” but by that point the bad taste was already in my mouth (literally, I tried the crusty stuff from the second attempt and it was so strong and freezing cold) and I wanted to go home. I am so disappointed that this was how it was handled - it is not the standard we’ve been used to with Camp (whereas the standard up until now is we have had ZERO issues or complaints - it’s our favorite place to get a great, reliable meal.) I understand everyone has an “off night” but when things are that far off, at least try to make it right, and not with offering a dessert as we are getting ready to leave. And, for those who love the Camp Steak, please let this be your warning that the newly “revamped” version is not even close to the original!! Picture of the veggies from my “take-home meal” with the ironic box they gave me. I updated it to reflect how sad I was“

“The restaurant was good and has potential. Unfortunately our server lacked experience and knowledge of fine dining and simple questions regarding entrees as well as timing. Long wait for meal and appetizers and entrees served at the same time.“

“Since the new management a year ago this place has changed for the better. It’s night and day. Food is great, staff is super friendly. Zoey was a great server thanks for making my experience better. Overall love the atmosphere of this place. Recommend everyone to come check it out!!!“

“Best restaurant around! Great atmosphere, food and staff!!“

“Great food & service at a very reasonable price. Always a my go to place when I’m in the area.“

“No one in area compares to The Sunset Grill. Their fish and chips is ALWAYS EXCELLENT. CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT. A great portion of fish with perfect breading. I don’t drink a lot , but when I do I usually get a Toasted Almond, and they serve a great tasting, HUGE GLASS. I work in a resort not too far away, and they serve in martini glass, use to be a short heavy glass, changed managers so many times, never know what I’ll get; but Sunset G always serves in one of those good 👍 sized beer pint glasses. And the staff is excellent as well.“

“delicious fresh food in a home like atmosphere. no one pushing you. able to relax, confer with family and friends for as long as you like. several rooms give you the sense of being in a home not in open space. Everyone is competent friendly and helpful“

“Love this place! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could! Check out the Supper Club. The July offering was wonderful. A great experience from the atmosphere to the service..to the food. Go to the Wine Bar on the deck overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee with great good and drinks and amazing views of the lake.
The Market is great, so many great selections of wine, cheese, baked goods... you have to go there to appreciate. Finally .. the staff is amazing. Dale is such a great resource on the wines, the offerings in the Market and is such a great ambassador for the business. We love talking to him, so knowledgeable and an overall wonderful guy!“

“Delicious food in a welcoming environment. The people here are the best!“

“Awesome food awesome atmosphere“

“Great food and drinks were yummy“

“this little local spot is absolutely awesome! Evan, Lindsey, Savanna, and Kelly are absolutely amazing. I've been staying up here and coming here daily and have tried half of the food menu and I've loved every single thing. such a fun atmosphere and great food and even better staff. Without a doubt my new favorite spot in Meredith. Make sure to stop in and tip your server/bartender well too! 10 out of 10!“

“The Lucky Dog Tavern in Plymouth is a fantastic spot that offers the best of both worlds. Upstairs, the restaurant has a cozy vibe, perfect for enjoying hearty pub fare like delicious sandwiches, and much more.

Downstairs, the atmosphere shifts to a bar, complete with a lively setting that’s perfect for socializing and playing games of pool. With plenty of TVs for sports fans and awesome staff, it’s an inviting place to relax and have fun.

The late-night hours make it a great destination to unwind after a busy day. Highly recommended for a great dining and nightlife experience.“

“Went on whim. Called to chk they easily squeezed 10 of us I'm prior to a party of 30 they had. (They didn't tell us about he 40 til we were 15 minutes late. I said 430 ish. Either way food was great from stk tip, fish n chips, chx parm to sandwiches and burgers not ONE person complained. That never happens. Super reasonable priced. With no alcohol 4 adults and 5 kids(1 baby) under $ 200!! not much 5-10 min driving distance on the Campton side of waterville estates. Def pleasantly surprised. services were quick and accommodating. after reading reviews its not high end thees a small racern on one side good local music. wouldn't expect high end stks and seafood. if u see ribeye on menu and only that stk option stick to burgers, sandwiches ect. kuds menu was great, more than your norm“
